Chapter 196: A Little Disappointing Box Office Results (1/5)

What is the concept of global release?

International superstar!

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Do you need a supporting role?

Tangtang didn't think much about it: "I haven't read the script yet... And when this project will not be developed, it has not yet been determined. ”

Chen Zhixi: "I have to wait for the release of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain"..."

"When will "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" be released?"

"It should be a 14-year New Year's stall or a Spring Festival stall..."

Liu Shishi suddenly interjected: ""Little Dress" was not nominated for the Golden Horse Award, right?"

"We didn't declare, what's wrong?"

"Lao Cai told me that the Golden Horse Awards were going to give me a nomination..."

Tangtang smiled: "They were in a hurry, and they also called me..."

"There is no possibility of reconciliation?"

"Impossible, Xiaoran doesn't have any affection for them. ”

……

Lu Xiaoran is talking to Zhong Lifang, and it is also about the Golden Horse Awards...

"No matter how much the film emphasizes art, it can never leave the soil of the market, the situation is already very clear, we occupy the largest market, we should enjoy the greatest right to speak, why should we give the judging criteria to the filmmakers?"

"If you send a message and say that Wanwan will not lift the restrictions on mainland films for a day, I will not participate in the Golden Horse Awards for a day!"

Only 10 mainland films are approved for release on the island every year, and they must first go through a private lottery by the other party...

What about us?

The three policies of the mainland, including the abolition of the number of restrictions on the introduction of crooked films, the exemption of the number of people from the mainland to participate in mainland film and television programs, and the relaxation of various restrictions on cross-strait co-production of films, are good for the film and television industry...

Regardless of whether the film participates in the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award or not, it can enter the mainland theaters.

The film festival was held in a bend, and filmmakers from mainland China and Hong Kong were actively cheering for it.

This is to make a big Golden Horse invisibly!

In fact, bending is groveling to the whole world, unilateral visa exemption for Thailand, steel mills are detained by Vietnam, and they are helpless, except for the mainland...

Zhong Lifang was a little embarrassed: "Above..."

"You let the above tell me personally, and I will have a good debate with him!"

“… Then I refuse..."

"Refuse, ban as usual, don't use their people!"

“OK!”

Lu Xiaoran changed the topic: "How is the account sharing talk?"

“… It's not been made public, and the key is distributed as usual..."

"Well, wait two weeks and see how the theaters are looking... Let's go!"

The two got out of the car and walked into the Beijing propaganda field of "No Man's Land"...

……

"No Man's Land" was officially released on November 1, with more than 32% of the first row of films in the country.

The income on the first day exceeded 22 million yuan, and the attendance rate also beat the opponents of the same schedule, winning the championship strongly.

After the opening of the zero point field of "No Man's Land", the score on Douban was as high as 9.5 points, known as the "God Score", and the Weibo index soared to the fifth place on the hot search list...

But Lu Xiaoran was not very satisfied...

22 million...

It's a bit too little, with Ning Hao's appeal + Xu Zheng and Huang Bo's hard work, how can it break 30 million on the first day!

It can only be said that the attraction of banned films is not as strong as imagined!

Of course, there is still no problem in crushing and beating "Tai Chi 2".

The latter's first-day box office was 6.8 million...

Feng Delun bid farewell to the mainland film industry in the first war, and Chen Guofu is estimated to resign...

Coupled with the publicity, this movie cost at least 300 million, and now it can recover less than a quarter of the cost...

In comparison, with 20 million three years ago, the box office of "No Man's Land" should be more than 200 million!

It's also earned!

Interviewed by reporters on the spot, Lu Xiaoran replied:

"Of course, I hope that the higher the box office, the better, "No Man's Land" is a very special movie that has changed the fate of many people, I talked to Xu Zheng, he said that if "No Man's Land" can be released smoothly, he will not be a director..."

"I also acted, there was a scene, and I was in the jury..."

"When I go to visit the class, it's just one day, and it's not good to install roles casually. ”

"When will we work together again... There will definitely be a chance, as long as we are all alive, there will definitely be a chance to cooperate!"

"No Man's Land" was released on November 1, Thursday, four days of the first weekend, with a cumulative box office of 120 million...

Of course, this achievement beat most domestic films, but it did not meet the expectations of the industry...

According to the industry's initial prediction, "No Man's Land" starts at 500 million!

"Cold War" was released on November 8 - known as the best Hong Kong film of the decade;

On November 22nd, "Life of Pi" opened...

It's hard to do!

Someone said something on the Internet, "No Man's Land" should be released in the summer...

In fact, there is a fixed arrangement for movie scheduling.

There are 52 weeks in a year, and even if there are 2 movies in a week, then there are almost 100 movies in a year.

And these 100 films still need to compete with imported films, so in fact, there are dozens of popular movies in China a year.

And we produce more than 1,000 theatrical movies and more than 2,000 online movies a year, so it's not hard to understand that most of them have suffered a fiasco at a loss.

This is the case all over the world, where a few good films make a lot of money, and most of the rest are at a loss.

The production of movies and TV series is actually a high-risk commercial activity, a bit like gambling, you can earn several times if you succeed, and you don't even have scum if you fail.

From this point of view, "No Man's Land" recovers its cost and makes a lot of 60 million, which is already very good!

Then, the pony got a lemon over there...

……

Last year, Pony also had three movies, "Wulin Gaiden", "Carry Love to the End", and "Butterfly on the Shoulder", which were also released, which can be regarded as a signboard...

Especially in "Will Love", the investment of 13 million yuan in exchange for a box office of more than 200 million yuan.

It's a bit embarrassing this year, they want to make 'Will Love' an IP, the completion of the "Will Love 2" TV series, "Will Love 3" will also be filmed in Australia soon, and the related micro-films will also be launched...

Then, "Carry on Love to the End 2" can't be sold!

No TV station is willing to take over - the tiger has been beaten, and Li Dagou's close partners are facing a dual-track dilemma!

They had negotiated with Doug Leman and invited him to be the director to tell the story of Sun Yat-sen's British bodyguard, "Two Guns Cohen", and the script was also written by a Hollywood screenwriter.

Doug Leman is a Hollywood A-level director, who has directed "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", "Spy Shadow"...

So far this year, no work has been made for Pony.

Wu Yusen wants to do "Taiping Wheel", of course, Xiaoma supports it and presses a lot of funds, in addition to Zhang Yibai's "Getting Better and Better Village Evening"...

They don't dare to buy the film casually - "Butterfly on the Shoulder" is really tricky!

Seeing the big hit of "No Man's Land", their hearts were really a little sour...

This money, it should be earned by them!

Li Dagou: "We have sold the copyright of "No Man's Land", which means that this movie has nothing to do with us!"

Li Li looked at the contract signed by Lu Xiaoran back then: "However, I remember that Lu Xiaoran talked to us about five movies, and he only made four!"

"What do you want to do?"

"He didn't follow the contract, and we can ask for a share of the source code!"

"The source code" was invested by China Film Master, and only 20% of the oranges were invested..."

"Then his next movie... You're embarrassed to look for him, I'll look for him!"
